LOL JK!
On a serious note, I understand radiology is not what it once was. Pretty much, you guys are working harder for the same/decreased pay. Honestly, that really doesn't bother me because I really have nothing to compare it to personally. Finishing up MS3 and I'm having a time deciding what I want to do. Rads, gas and em have all been considered. I really don't care how "hard" I "work" when I'm at "work." The thing is, I want that to be predictable and flexible. For example: monday-friday, normal hours, minimal call and minimal weekends. If that's still attainable in radiology, then I think I'm ready to commit to it. I think another bonus for me is that I have no desire to live in a large, fun city. I am more than happy to live on a chunk of land in a rural area in the south/southeast.
As for fitting into radiology - I'm a very introverted person (INTP to be exact) and I'm literally a 100% visual person. I have a hard time paying attention to anyone and remembering what they're saying, but my visual memory is as sharp as it gets. I think that is another draw to radiology for me. I've been a gamer my entire life so sitting at a desk with a comfortable chair, not having to see patients, and working with my eyes/brain...this sounds great to me.
So, from other rads out there.. does it sound like I would be a good fit for rads and would rads be a good fit for me?
Thanks!
